EXHAUST GAS CO CONCENTRATION DETECTION METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CO SENSOR BUILT IN COMBUSTOR

Title:

EXHAUST GAS CO CONCENTRATION DETECTION METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CO SENSOR BUILT IN COMBUSTOR

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JPH085595

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

PURPOSE: To suppress fluctuation in the CO concentration detected by a CO sensor caused by the difference in the kind of gas used for a combustor.

CONSTITUTION: A memory 13 is prestored with a data representative of the relationship between the output from a CO sensor and the CO concentration of exhaust gas for each kind of gas to be used. A fuel kind input/set section 14 externally sets the kind of gas being burnt in a combustor. A CO concentration determining/detecting section 12 reads out the data representative of the kind of gas being set at the section 14, determines a CO concentration corresponding to the output value from the CO sensor with reference to the graph, and outputs the CO concentration thus read out as an actual measurement of CO concentration in the exhaust gas.
